Deepcleanproblem and travelphotos [May 13th, 2012 @10:10 AM] mushroomattack This morning i woke up with a heavy muscle pain in my neck and left shoulder. It is stiff and my dreadlocks make the pain worse. I let them hang lose, cuz with a bun it hurts more. Yesterday evening i did a deepcleansession. Never used soda before and to bad i didnt. The water turned grey within five minutes. And when i flushed the water there was loads of dust and sand in the sink. WTF i never knew my dreads where so nasty. After the deepcleaning i putted a hairmasked on my dreads. My dreadlocks are getting dry-er and dry-er and i don't want them to break. So now my dreadlocks are superclean, but what to do about the neck- and shoulderpain? What do you do to handle the weight of your dreadlocks during washing? [edit] I have to say i'm complaining more and more last half year. I'm not thinking about cuting. But i need to have some good tips how to handle the heavy weight during sleeping, wearing at work etc. ( YEA I WASH MY HAIR! DO YOU WHIPE YOUR ASS? ) read (2) comment | edit

unwanted maintenance [May 12th, 2012 @7:37 PM] curlybits [ mood | annoyed ] I was walking home from school yesterday and I decided to cut through the city center past the barber shop. I'm on a semi-talking basis with the barber there, I.E. Hello, good morning, etc... Anyhoo, I was walking past the shop when he yelled at me, "Come into the shop, your dreads need to be re-twisted and I'm going to dye them black." And he was definitely not asking me, he was telling me. I have never expressed to this person in anyway that I wanted maintenance done. I'm probably being overly sensitive, but it just really annoyed me. I was polite and responded simply by saying I don't maintain my dreads that way then I quickly walked away. I have freeform dreads so all I really do is fix any weak spots I find. My roots might look messy, but I check everyday to make sure they're separated. My hair color is a mixture of auburn, dark brown, and sporadic blond areas. I haven't dyed my hair since my dreads were babies so a lot of that color is from the sun. I think it looks kinda cool. I guess it annoyed me that the barber automatically assumed that not only would I want maintenance, but in a way I don't actually maintain my dreads... Plus a dye job because...?

Photos and Phototgraphy [May 4th, 2012 @11:51 PM] cuntishness I'm really bad about taking photos of my hair and the growth. I decided to do some, albeit late, from when lishd asked about the leaning head back bit... ( 5 photos of length and texture ) On to other business... As many of you know, I'm a photographer and to come up with the cash to get me to my little sister's wedding (which was announced a few days ago and happens in 3 weeks) I am having a sale on prints for gas money. So if you're interested in having a look at some Asian temples, Mardi Gras Indians, Nottoway Plantation, St. Roch Ex-Voto, New Orleans in general and more... Click that link there, take a peek and if you like, purchase small affordable prints of them! Included is this fine dreadlocked gent that I posted here before. read (3) comment | edit
